After many years in the making, Asher Monroe has finally released his debut solo album Inner Warrior.Â

The 13-track LP isÂ Asher’s first project that is all him – his vocals, his production, and his vision. True to his hard-working and courageous nature, he released the album completely on his own earlier this summer.

“I wanted to finally put out an album with my full imprint on it,” says Asher. “I have so many songs in my library that the world hasn’t heard yet. I’m a Virgo, so I’m a perfectionist to say the least. I felt it was finally time to let the songs that I was emotionally attached to the most out into the world. Lyrically and sonically, I am very proud of this album. This is only the beginning chapter.”

Fans may remember Asher as theÂ lead singer of the pop R&B boy band V Factory, who released their first Top 40 single “Love Struck” in 2009 (Warner Bros.) During their time together,Â V FactoryÂ shared the stage with notable artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, M.C. Hammer, Flo Rida, and more.

Propelling forward into his solo career, Asher released his first music video for “Like I Do” in 2011 along with a two-part EP called On My Way.

After multiple subsequent single releases and a national co-headlining tour, Asher officially signed to independent music labelÂ D Empire Entertainment,Â owned by global activist and entrepreneurÂ Diana Jenkins.
